As a stage of recovery is increased (i.e. moving from stage 1 to stage 2), Strategic CMRT will review and approve changes to response measures.
If there is a step back in recovery stage (e.g. moving from stage 2 back to stage 1), UTAS will transition to the new requirements by the time the new requirements come into effect (UTAS can transition within 1 week).
To enable tracking and tracing in the event of a confirmed, or probable COVID-19 case, where possible UTAS will identify data on staff, students, contractors etc., who could be close contacts of the confirmed case. Where required UTAS will provide this information to the relevant State and Federal Government. 5 June (3pm) – 25 June 26 June Any staff or student who exhibits any respiratory, flu-like or COVID-19 symptoms should not come to campus and should immediately contact the Public Health Hotline (TAS 1800 671 738 and NSW 1800 020 080) for advice before advising their manager / supervisor (staff) or U-Connect (students).
